Unlike Delta

Amsterdam, a major European center, is home to the unit of KLM Air France-KLM, which is the main partner of Delta in the SkyTeam global airline alliance.

Delta, Richard Anderson, CEO, recently met with Air France-KLM executives (1) to discuss the airlines would cut back on their trans-Atlantic routes this fall. Delta and KLM are the only companies that nonstop service on the same route.

Representatives from Delta and American Airlines have tried this call for coordination on domestic routes would have been a flagrant violation. However, Delta and Air France-KLM enjoy an antitrust exemption that the meeting was legal. Still compete with other providers of trans-Atlantic as an American and Oneworld partners or the United States and its network of Star Alliance, but Air France-KLM, which is number eight among airlines in the world, and the second largest European , and Delta allows routes and prices for them without restrictions. The Obama has a skeptical attitude toward antitrust immunity for airline alliances. More recently, the Justice Department proposed ending antitrust immunity for rate-setting meetings of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Airlines, of course, struggling to maintain their antitrust immunity. Shane Dean and bring a good point, that the national law cross-border ownership of airlines, thereby causing the trans-Atlantic airline mergers almost impossible. If Delta were to merge with Air France-KLM, would not need to collude on setting routes and fares. Industry lawyers argue that we must look to the competition between alliances, or between members of the alliance and partner airlines, the economic benefits of the alliance antitrust exemptions available. If my hypothetical October trip was Newark, New Jersey, and Amsterdam, the price would have been U.S. $ 2,208 and her partner, Lufthansa, KLM or Delta and its partners. SkyTeam carriers compete in the JFK-London route to Virgin Atlantic and bmi British Independent, United and Lufthansa Star Alliance and Oneworld of British Airways. Neither Air France-KLM Delta offers flights on that route that day. Recent negotiations between Delta and Air France-KLM will probably focus on who would be allowed for the majority of high-income, less competitive routes to places like Amsterdam, where the trans-Atlantic flight discounts are not a factor, and how cutting capacity on low prices, competitive routes to places such as Heathrow.

Allowing airline partners “negotiate” with others, as a director of Air France is described, with the highest international rates than they would if airlines in the price and performance of their powers apply more efficient. Unlike Delta, which are not international profits artificially high road to fall again, causing a disadvantage. Exemptions increased competition, the higher the rate increase.

For others, the championships have already memorable for an argument between the All England Club and Health & Safety Executive (HSE).

the finer 01

When it comes to writing a tender bids for the contract, many organizations are very confident about selling your business, services or products, but companies often do not mention the cost of accuracy or appropriate support, and of course any supplier prudent to consider cost as an important element in the supply decision-making.

How to work at their own cost of commission per sale? The first step is to track all the processes involved in the contract, providers often miss the finer details and therefore miss important costs that, if the bid is successful it could mean that end up working at a loss. Do you have to face to face? Are the administrative costs involved in organizing these meetings? Should we pay for transportation to meetings? You should look at each step of the process and consider each step in this way. Ask questions about the most efficient and cost effective to achieve the goal. Once you have verified that the information you need to then assign a cost to each stage will depend on actions and resources of staff involved. Once you have established the total cost when taking into account an element of profit.

Whether you choose to add a percentage of total cost or a fixed amount, always make sure that the final budget is quoted in the original budget. Providers are more likely to offer contracts to those cited in the midrange of its budget, which specifies an upper and lower limits. The cost can only save the tender, so always consider this step of your presentation answer carefully.

financial miracle

Our society creates patterns of behavior in us and the customer. Understanding these patterns will print and give us ideas about influencing others.

The law of the same coin

The law of reciprocity is fundamental to human values.

Effective sales people know more about this law. It’s not really fair. For example, I give the secretary a box of Godiva chocolates, the “influence” I get an appointment.

The law works well if the customer does not expect the issue and that is specific to them.

I use a lot of traveling for a financial writer. I can not tell you how many times, give someone a free book was given a $ 10.00 hotel room we passed, an update of an airplane, or a discount on the service.

What gifts would you give to a customer who needs them? (Free consultation, free reports, a book, a personal gift). NEED social proof. Testimonials sell. If you have 100 people supporting your product, if you create letters, evaluations, reports of how great your product, that will affect people.

Even stronger guarantees of third party companies, magazines, and celebrities. An article or a personal guarantee of a celebrity can be a great triumph for the autumn. Even useful for their product just to give the notes roles

The Law of Consistency

Another example is the pressure to maintain consistency.

All our lives we are told to be consistent, habits, patterns and the development of symmetry to develop. This leads us to the consistency in our lives. Maybe:

* Commit to a small step leading to a major.
* According to his probing questions.
* Try a free trial for the sale.

People buy from friends and people who like

If you like someone, they are more likely to trust and buy. It is therefore important to develop strategies and tactics to your liking. Here is a list of activities for you to consider:

* Send thank you cards for your appointment
* Be respectful and attentive (time and money)
* Ask for permission to use your name
* Offer free advice and information
* Check your home, business or
* Send or information of interest
* Remember special occasions
* Take them out – social
